Sections let you group related items together inside a template. A well-organized template is easier and faster for your crew to fill out, especially when the checklist is long.

Adding a section

  1. Open the template you want to edit.
  2. Click Add Section.
  3. Give the section a title, like "Cab" or "Patient Compartment" or "Batteries."
  4. Add fields inside the section by clicking a field type in the Field Library or dragging one into the section.

Collapsible sections

Tick the Collapsible option on a section to let the person filling out the checksheet expand or collapse it. This keeps the screen manageable when a checklist has many items. Collapsible sections start collapsed when the session opens; non-collapsible sections stay open.

Ordering sections

You can drag sections into the order you want using the handle on each section. Put the sections in the order your crew will naturally work through them. For a truck check, that might be cab first, patient compartment second, outside third, and equipment fourth.

An example

You are building a template for a ladder truck daily check. You create four sections:

  1. Cab — items for the cab interior, like warning lights, radio, and mirrors.
  2. Pump panel — items for the pump gauges, valves, and primer.
  3. Ground ladders — items for each ground ladder you carry, like length, condition, and any damage.
  4. Aerial — items for the aerial ladder, like tip load placard, cable inspection, and rotation test.

You mark the Pump panel and Aerial sections as collapsible so the screen stays tidy while the crew works through the checklist.
